Windows 7: Windows 7 sudden meltdown

My first posting :-) My 64-bit Windows 7 home PC (Acer quad-core M3802, factory installed OS, about 4 months' old) has gone into meltdown this morning. It crashes with a blue screen every 5 to 10 minutes (or at login) with a random error (see below) and a random driver indicated in a minidump analysis. I have tried to disable antivirus (AVG free) and the internet connection, but these have no effect.

More information.... The system does not seem to crash in safe mode. The latest series of crashes have occurred at remarkably regular intervals of about or just over 11 minutes: 11:19, 10:50, 11:13, 11:00, 11:19, 11:28, 11:20...

It's fixed: many, many, many thanks Jonathan. Perhaps you could explain in a sentence or two how an anti virus program could cause such carnage.

To confirm that this is a good fix, I have a built system very similar to yours and shortly after I installed AGV 9.0 free, began getting SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION BSODs at login in time. I used safemode to get into msconfig and stop both the AVG startup and service. Rebooted, logged in and uninstalled AVG. No more SSE BSODs.

So that begs the question: is there a recommended anti-virus that will not crash Windows7 64bit?

SimCity launch - meltdownRight off the bat the game has a few cons; EA, Origin, DRM, no true single player/solo mode - no local saves.
People who don't trust EA can purchase through Amazon, ok. Well you still need Origin, which means you must agree with their eula.
Few seem surprised that EA botched another launch.
